Session Lifecycle

1. Request – client submits a DPN session request with QoS and budget parameters.

2. Matchmaking – subnet registry returns an eligible contributor node.

3. Handshake – client & provider establish a private data channel and auxiliary reporting channel.

4. Streaming – encrypted traffic flows; provider pushes usage stats to validators in real time.

5. Settlement – upon disconnect, validators verify proofs and trigger token payouts to the provider.
